Modern Land Rover vehicles rely on sophisticated software for many of their connected features, and some of that software can be updated without a trip to the service center. Available Land Rover software updates can deliver improvements and help keep compatible vehicle systems current over time. Land Rover Bellevue explains how over-the-air updates work and what owners should know.
How do Over-the-Air Updates Work?
Compatible Land Rover vehicles can receive certain software updates remotely using the vehicle's built-in connectivity or an available Wi-Fi® connection. When an update is available, the vehicle can notify you through the touchscreen, and information may also be available through the Land Rover Remote app. Depending on the update, you may be able to choose when installation takes place so the process doesn't interfere with your plans. Some updates require the vehicle to be parked and unavailable for a period while installation is completed.
What Can Land Rover Software Updates Improve?
Over-the-air updates can deliver improvements to compatible vehicle software without requiring a traditional service appointment. Pivi and Pivi Pro updates can address infotainment performance, functionality, and other connected features, while certain vehicles can also receive updates for additional onboard control systems. Exactly what changes with each release depends on the vehicle, its equipment, and the software being installed, and Land Rover provides release information for available updates.
How Do I Check for an Update?
Drivers can check their vehicle's software information through the Pivi or Pivi Pro touchscreen. When an update is available, the system provides instructions for downloading or installing it and any conditions that must be met before installation can begin. Keeping software updates enabled helps ensure that you're notified when compatible updates become available.
Over-the-air capability doesn't replace routine maintenance or every software-related service visit; some updates, diagnostics, recalls, or repairs may still require assistance from an authorized Land Rover retailer.
